Of boys and toys

Rex is on his way to Russia, probably to be the getaway car of some russian mobster. He's been a good car, serving C faithfully these days, despite the abuse. C was quite coy about the new toy of course. One of the questions I posed was, "so, how many horsies under the hood?". Answer: "Less than 200". Next question, "How many biscuits and hollys is that?". Answer: "depends on if you want to go straight, or forever drive in a curved direction". ouch. Ha ha ha. Obviously bis = go straight, and holly = not very bright. Poor Bis. Very sweet but rather depressed. And Holly, well, very pretty but also very stupid.

Still on the search for Hootie. Never found. Still sad. I miss him. However, there is a recent emergence of the new Mooove flying cows at various patches of roadside. Hmm. The plot thickens.

In rememberance of Hootie

Hootie. Little red fish with the big innocent eye. Always happy. Always innocent. Never minded that he wasn't in a designer bag like Slick always is in, never minded that he didn't get to go on outings daily like Slick does. But now, gone forever. Perhaps trampled by 1000 careless feet at orchard road. Or perhaps he tired of his second-rated (vs slick) life and decided to break free and run away. I miss his big big happy eyes. I tracked back to all the places I could have possibly lost him, but no sign of Hootie. My heart is broken. There'll never be another Hootie again.

I hope he's at peace wherever he is. Off to a better life. My heartache is so immense I had to buy 2 pairs or new sandals to comfort myself. Oh where Oh where art thou Hootie? I contemplate putting up a MISSING ad with a reward offered. Oh where oh where has my little fish gone? :(

The Black Hole

It's the point of no return for me. I'm so hooked on the latest (yes another new one since Mar 29 update) K-drama Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi I'm watching k-drama all the way through 1.30am everyday. It's a bit like Final Fantasy and LOTR mix. Even on my business trip to BKK for 2 days, I was afraid to let TWSSG go, yes, ol' faithful TWSSG DVD came along with me. Even chose room service rather than go out for meals or even to the spa just so I could watch the DVD on my PC. Ohhh yeah.

The OST is great. Great great great. Just like Jap anime or fantasy. Beautiful Song!!

Incorrigible

It's an incurable disease. K-drama addiction is back. Even worse, I've discovered the joy of downloading and watching online. No more having to spend $$$$ at video rental store. Ohmygawd now I know how a gambling addict feels. MBA project deadline is looming, yet I've barely put words on paper. I watch K-drama till my eyes water. Even my mac's speakers have busted. C was brave enough to buy a cable to hook up to my stereo so sound could live again. Lately have even taken to skipping yoga classes so I can watch k-drama....aiiiieeeeeeee...

Stuck

Gawd. 10hrs. In a chair. I'm addicted again. Not K-drama, but C-drama (C=Chinese). Worse of all, even too lazy to go to the store to rent dvd, so end up downloading 30 eps. Sat in the chair for 10hrs to watch all 30 eps. Only time away for pee break. That's what pain in the butt means.

Kept promising myself to start on my mba project. But errr.....kept getting distracted. I promise to start as soon as this ep is finished! (err...yeah right).

Hiatus

Wow, a month since my last blog entry. Let's see, been to HK and back. Ate lots. Added more inventory to my bulgeoning cosmetic stash (which i hardly use, and have to throw away lots recently). Started yoga teacher training course, week 4 already. HUH! Dogs continue to stink, Bis still pees on himself, Holly still stupid. They did get their annual (or once in 3 yrs) vaccination though. Hated going to the vet of course (them, not me). Bought more new clothes (no surprise), more new books (no surprise). Con complains why do I buy books I never read, and leave them in shrinkwraps. My ans, just in case I need to read them. For rainy days. Ha ha.

Topic of interest - Doggie Olympics. Contenders: Bis & Holly. Who will most likely win? Bets below.

Winner of High Jump. Holly.
Winner of Long Jump. Biscuit.
Target & fetch. Biscuit.
Fastest to finish 5kg of food. Holly.
Fastest to produce 5kg of poo. Holly.
Fastest to spot a cat and catch it. Neither (both dogs will run away when cats start hissing).
Most likely to defend owner in times of enemy encroachment. Neither (bis runs away first, holly wags tail at enemy & continues to look stupid).

What a difference a smile makes

So I resolve to be less grim and eccentric, I try. C laughed when I said I was doing the yoga teacher training, he said I was prob the most un-zen person he knows of, prob students would be too afraid to take my class.

Prana Vinyasa class with Franck is always fantastic, the mood is great, the flow is awesome. People always come out of his class in an excellent mood. I resolved to be more open, more friendly, I actually braved and chatted up some people I've seen around in class but never made friends with. Voila, no hardship there. Even collected 1 new phone number. Went down to toast for lunch and bumped into shambhala yoga friend, who intro me to another friend, who intro me to another friend. I collected another new phone number. Clearly, today is meet new friends day, even bumped into Yvette who's out for a day with her hubby and family.

Went shopping to buy Joshua's present. The thing is, don't know how but ended up spending more on me at the store than his present. Once again I must have SUCKER on my forehead, otherwise how else could I spend over $100 on a jacket for myself at a KIDS' boutique???? To think I hesitated for 2 months on buying a lulu yoga top which would set me back by $90. Irony of it is, I went off to Raoul to buy a $100+ belt which I saw at the display window. It's clearly 20x overpriced but I liked it anyway.

Aiyah. Sucker.
